Dogs love swimming. So much so that some will swim even when they’re not actually in water.
This cute little pooch was taken swimming for the first time the day before this video was shot. The next day, when the owner decided to give Franklin (for that is its name) a bath, he reacted strangely.
Lifting him out of the water made him start moving his paws as if he were swimming after a stick floating on the surface of a lake.
This is funny, obviously, but it’s also interesting for two reasons: it shows how dogs automatically know how to swim, rather than needing to be taught; and it shows the way dogs stroke when underwater in more detail than I’ve ever seen before.
So, funny, cute, cool, and interesting. That’s a good hit rate for one YouTube video.
